Alot of Bandwidth...
Well, I currently pay about $10.00/month on my website, and that gives me about 40 Gigs of bandwidth. But, I keep on exceeding my limit, and there is a $.02/MB charge for every MB over the limit. I'm looking for a host that offers more bandwidth for around the same price. Because paying 60+ dollars a month for excess bandwidth is ridiculous. Thanks.

Have you checked to see why your using so much bandwidth?
You either have a very popular site, people are linking to your stuff, bots are having a field day taking all your stuff or you have really big files on offer.
Whats the content of the site?

So you are paying $70 per month? How much bandwidth are you using then? Are they charging you the extra 60 bucks for 3 gig? That seems like they make their money from nickel and diming you
Are you in a shared or dedicated hosting environment?

You can use unlimited bandwidth.

seriously, if your paying 60$ now, you should just consider going dedicated. You can get 500 or 600 GB / month for your $60, maybe just a little bit more. That and all the flexibility of your own machine.
And about the above post...if it sounds too good to be true, then it is..
Nothing is unlimited.

I agree with iBold on this one. There is no such thing as unlimited bandwidth. If anyone ever tells you this they are simply lying. EVERY unlimited host I have seen always has a clause when it comes to unlimited bandwidth.
UNLIMITED USE POLICY
High bandwidth usage: Technolojik offers an unlimited use policy by maintaining very large ratios of bandwidth per customer. In rare cases,Technolojik may find a customer to be using server resources to such an extent that he or she may jeopardize server performance and resources for other customers. In such instances, Technolojik reserves the right to impose the High Resource User Policy for the consideration of all customers.
HIGH RESOURCE USER POLICY
Resources are defined as bandwidth and/or processor utilization.
Technolojik may implement the following policy to its sole discretion:
When a website is found to be monopolising the resources available Technolojik reserves the right to suspend that site immediately. This policy is only implemented in extreme circumstances and is intended to prevent the misuse of our servers. Customers may be offered an option whereby Technolojik continues hosting the website for an additional fee.

Everything unlimited is a scam... You certainly need to read the TOS very carefully when you apply for something unlimited.

You really need to find out why you are using so much bandwidth. Ask Fuitadnet if they can provide you with the logs. If you actually have that many visitors, you should consider selling banner space or maybe Google ads to help pay for the site.
You also need to check to see if other people are linking to you and using your information on their site. If you have CPanel, you can prevent this easily.
If you decide to move (probably a good idea) never accept an Unlimited space or bandwidth offer. As mentioned above, they all have some sort of catch.
Good luck.

I wouldn't agree that absolutely everything unlimited is a scam. We offer unlimited unlimited ODBC connections for eample and unlimited sub-domains. No catches.
There are occasions wher the use of the word unlimited in hosting is geuine but when it applies to bandwidth there simply is no such thing.
